28-03-2011 My little cart 3

Last photo of my little cart and camera. Beneath that A few photo's I made yesterday in the darkroom.

The following photo's are try outs. It's a tree (duh!) but I processed them in different ways with two different papers. I developed two in Lith developer. The lith developer was old brown from somewhere late last year at room temperature. Well that was the plan. The first photo is on Orwo paper of many years old. It showed after two hour just slight signs of a photo. As I expected I finished it in normal paper developer.

The second photo is printed on normal Ilford MGIV paper. This one went into the Lith developer for 30 minutes. After that time there was clear development visible but then it stopped so I also finished this in normal paper developer. I really like this one. Unfortunately the scanner doesn't do justice to the photo.

Third photo I developed in normal paper developer only. Amalco AM3003. This time I tried to solarize it. It didn't quite work out they way I wanted. Perhaps the light I used was to weak. However there is a difference with the last photo.

Last but not least. Normal everything:

Again my scanner really doesn't do justice to the photo's.

Of course I had to test my new gadget so since the sun was still shining I went out with my calumet strapped and the little cart. It is OK but I am a bit too tall for the handle. I have to think of something so I can walk around with it easier.

Yesterday I went into town and on the way down there I decided to go into a secondhand store. I have been looking for a while for a cart to move around my 4x5 camera. I visited a couple before but no luck yet until today. Of course I was on my bicycle but I could leave it there until I went home again. All went well and here it is:

25-03-2011 Vrijthof Maastricht

I went into town today to spend some time for school. I still need some photo's for the assignment city landscape. And for a found still life. This weekend I am going to develop the rolls. Hopefully there will be something there that I can use. I did my best. Meanwhile I was enjoying the sun and the people being dressed from sunny to late winter but regretting it slightly. Maybe I should practice street photography the next time. So here is the pic of today:

Beautiful isn´t it? Not really. This is supposed to be a photo of Sappi paper factory in Maastricht by night. Apparently the film is not as sensitive as I hoped. Well one lives and learn.

On my way to school again. Waiting for my ride to Hasselt. Listening to some Daft Punk on my headphones and enjoying the last sunrays of the day. Life can be good.

20-03-2011 Bunkers at Kanne

Today I went out photographing with my friend Rick near Kanne. Scattered all over the place in the fields are several world war 2 bunkers. It is absolutely fascinating out there and we will definitely go back once more. However instead of the nice sunny weather we had today we'll wait for some awesome cloud formations. Then I will bring my 4x5 camera as well. Now I only took my Instax and old Polaroid cam. So be prepared for a lot of photo's:

Today I went by bus to Hasselt where I follow classes at the Art Academie for Photography. Normally I go by car because I strongly dislike public transport. And that dislike was confirmed once again. But anyway I managed to develop some nice photographs in the darkroom and spend a little time in the city as well. The colors on below photo are a bit light but as you can see the weather was gorgeous.

Van Drop Box

This is a little shack of the A2 near Roosteren/Susteren. I have been meaning to take some pics from it for a long time. When I came back from the Carnaval in Swalmen I decided to shoot my last Instax of pack 2 of this shack. Next time I am bringing my 4x5 camera to shoot it.

06-03-2011 Carnaval Margraten

Van Drop Box

A little photo from carnaval in Margraten Limburg. I was there to take pictures from the people watching the parade. I was sick as a dog and didn't make the amount of pics I could have...at least the weather was awesome!

Sunrise.

Yesterday i was driving to work when i saw this. You really don't have to travel for for something beautiful.

Nice weather today so me and my friend went out for some serious photographing. We went to a place near Maastricht called Kanne. That is where I shot above pic. They have a bunch of world war 2 bunkers over there. I knew about one but there are at least 10 around there within 10 minutes walk from each other. The light was near perfect. We hadn't seen such nice light in a long time. So we spent there about an hour and a half or so. I shot a roll and a half of tri-x black and white. There must be something on it I can use for me school assignments. All in all a good day. Without my cold it would have been a great day!
